Enhancing Video for Security

Pan, tilt, and zoom

Recording a video feed from a camera that pans constantly requires much more storage. If the duration of your video archive is a concern, Honeywell recommends that you consider if constant panning is necessary to your security needs. See Behavior of PTZ After a Session Closes, p. 93.

Table 7–5 Impact of Quality Setting on a Unit’s Video Archive

Recording Quality	Duration of Video Archive	Oldest Available Video*
(compression unit)	(Estimated, in camera-day)	(rounded to shortest time)	(weeks)

6	1441	3 years, 11 months	200
8†	1153	3 years, 1 month	160
10	823	2 year, 3 months	110

*For one camera; Resolution = 320 × 240; Frame Rate = 1; Storage = 500GB.

† Default value.

Resolution

Using higher resolution

Recording video at higher resolutions than default uses up more storage on a Multi-Media unit. Your organization can decide if it prefers (a) high-resolution video images that remain stored for a shorter length of time, or (b) low-resolution images that can be stored longer.

Table 7–6 Recording Resolution: Effect on the Video Archive

Resolution			Video Archive*	Oldest Available Video

704	×	576	254	8 months

*For one camera; Frame Rate = 1; Quality = 8; Storage = 500 GB.

† Default Honeywell settings.

‡ PAL images are larger than NTSC and require more storage. This accounts for a shorter archive.
